I was reading to Jay in the afternoon. I heard a loud boom. Looked out my window and saw smoke coming from our neighbor's house. Brady was home so I ran to tell him, he hopped in his truck and drove over. He called me and told me to call 911. We live outside the city limits. So, they contact the county fire dept. (aka volunteers) who have to be reached at work. Then, they fill up the water truck and "hurry" to the fire. In less than two hours our neighbor's home was completely destroyed. They lost everything, except each other . They just moved here before school started with their two daughters a high schooler and a sixth grader. Please join me in praying that they will experience Christ at this time in their lives. That even though our God gives and takes away. He wants to give them a better life, an eternal life, one that can't be destroyed. Sometimes He must take away what we value most to get our attention.
Yes, I went and bought three fire extinguisher's.

I will be praying for the family. DO they have family near them? What a great opportunity for you to show Christ. I'll pray for you and your husband as well.
I'm so sorry to hear about your neighbor's loss of their home. We will definitely be praying for them, and for you as well ~ that you will be able to minister to them during this time.
